Question by Gimal · Jul 05, 2013 at 12:55 AM · androiddevelopmenttablet

Does unity work with tablets?

Does unity work on a tablet? I know unity can make games for tablet, but can I develop games with unity on a tablet? Does it work like a normal pc?

Only if the tablet can run Windows (of the standard desktop variety, no RT stuff) or OS X. So, possibly the Surface Pro would work.

So, if I'm working on a game in my PC, I can just turn it off and keep working it on my tablet? Thanks for answering!

No, I'm asking because I want to buy a tablet soon.

And as long as you don't care about Input.getTouch or Input.acceleration. ( I can't believe we still don't have Windows native touchscreen support and that there seems to be no hurry at all to get it working...)

Another thing to point out is navigation will be hell. For example on a computer if you use your mouse and scroll the mouse wheel you will zoom in and out. How are you going to scroll on a tablet. So you can say good bye to zoo$$anonymous$$g in or out.

What about if you right click with your mouse, you can pan around in terms of rotation to see your scene. How are you going to right click on a tablet?

And if you do a mouse scroll click you can pan around in terms of transform. How can you do a scroll click on a tablet?

Yes it's possible to run unity on a tablet but it will be very limited on what you can do.

You would have a better chance to run it on your PC and just remote in on your tablet via like $$anonymous$$mviewer or something and just "take over" your computer. I do this every now and then but even this method is super limited.

Now of course a lot of tablets support mouse/keyboard support via usb if you get an adapter but I don't know much about it. So that might be worth doing but at that point why not just use a computer.

Now some of this might not be true, your tablet might be able to simulate some of this, like perhaps if you move 2 fingers on the screen it might simulate a scroll wheel. But this wouldn't be something Unity has to care about this would be something your tablet does.
